VillaJ100 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Don't want him back. He did a job for us and was a great player here, but made no secret of the fact he wanted to get out pretty much ASAP. Jokes on him, I think we had his best years. Finished now. Could do a job in a more minor European league, eg Holland or Belgium. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took the league by storm, he was a top premier league striker and he had to fight relegation under Paul Lambert for 3 years. Of course he would want out. It didn't work out for him but our demise after he left certainly doesn't mean the joke was on him. It's taken us years and he's still at a better team than us. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Benteke was damaged goods by the time he rocked up to Liverpool. He simply never recovered from his Achilles injury. Yes he scored a decent amount under Sherwood but that's because Sherwood set the side up to play for Benteke. Ultimately after that injury he lost a yard of pace and was far less dynamic. Prior to the injury he was on the path to becoming one of the top strikers in Europe. Anyway, can't blame him for moving to Liverpool. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyg Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 He wouldn’t be on my list of strikers to get in, however if he comes at a decent price...along with another young and hungry striker It could be a master stroke... I have no idea what kinda price he would come for but anything around the 5m mark Give him the 20 shirt....and I think it could be worth a gamble, the spark he needs to end his career on a high. But it’s just that... a gamble! Buts it’s not my money so **** it let’s get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted January 11, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2020 I see no problems bringing him in providing we also bring in another striker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if in hindsight he knew his best years would have been spent playing Lambert's DrudgeBall he never would have come here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored 15 for Palace the season he left, which I'm guessing helped keep them up. He was doing well. Edited January 11, 2020 by dont_do_it_doug.

In 2016/17 he won 9 (NINE) headers per 90 for Palace. 7 man of the match awards on whoscored, for whatever that's worth. I seem to remember him being good and i follow palace fans who loved him, but we were in the Championship at the time tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
